[LDPE] 1.9.02 Released (SlicerPro2 rectifier settings / auto-save (beta)) - Nils Schmidt - 2026-03-21
Hey,
this release 1.9.02 lets you disable the rectifier run which is active in SlicerPro2.
I also added the "auto-save" feature for Jeff. It is disabled by default!
I do not recommend to enable this, because of the current side-effects of this new feature (e.g. it clears the current selection in the 3D view on save. You'll find it under "Tools... -> Options... ->Interval for auto-save [minutes]").
As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

Changelog:
(2 new features)
With this release you will be able to...
- ...toggle the default Rectifier post-processing for SlicerPro.
- ...use the new "Auto-Save" feature. It is disabled by default. Don't enable it, unless you really need it. I suggest 6 minutes as a setting, the maximum value is 10 minutes. You'll find it under "Tools... -> Options... ->Interval for auto-save [minutes]") (see #521).
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Linux Mint >=22], Mac OS X [>=14]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 4GB
- Video-Memory: 1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 150 MB
- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Linux Mint >=22], Mac OS X [>=14]
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 500 MB
- For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
